[The speed of this cylinder doesn't match the remaining
excerpts on this side, and in any case its brief overlap with Band 4 precludes
an origin in the same performance. A Glackens cardboard marker numbered 110 was
found in the otherwise unmarked box, and the cylinder matches the description
of Glackens 110--but the notebook entry contains no date, though Blass is
named. The sound quality seems to preclude 1901. Aside from February 7, 1903,
Blass sang at the following performances of Lohengrin:

3/2/01 MacIntyre, Schumann-Heink, Van Dyck, Bertram/Damrosch

3/8/01 Ternina, Olitzka, J. De Reszke, Bertram/Damrosch

1/11/02 Ternina, Homer, Dippel, Mühlmann/Damrosch

3/1m/02 Ternina, Reuss-Belce, Von Bandrowski, Van
Rooy/Damrosch

1/10m/03 Nordica, Schumann-Heink, Anthes, Bispham/Hertz

2/11/03 Gadski, Schumann-Heink, Anthes, Bispham/Hertz]

After recording the opening phrase of the
King's Prayer, Mapleson stopped his machine and waited for the ensemble that
continues it.

My Lord and God, I now call on you. that you be present at this battle!

CHORUS
Give hero's strength to the virtuous arm, drain power and courage from the false: thus help us, God, in this fatal hour, and draw away the veil of deceit Give hero's strength, etc.
( During this choral
strain, the principals voice their individual prayers. )
